Check box controls allow you to add a check box on the ribbon. They are declared in DAML using the checkBox element within the controls container.

A check box is declared using the id, caption, className, and tooltip attributes.

The check box is referenced on a group using the checkBox element with the refID attribute.

<groups>
   <group id="MyGroup" caption="Group 1">
      <checkBox refID="MyCustomCheckBox" size="small" />       
   </group>
</groups>

<controls>    
   <checkBox id="MyCustomCheckBox" caption="My Checkbox" className="MyCheckBox" >
      <tooltip heading="click me"></tooltip>
   </checkBox>    
</controls> 

The className attribute references the check box implementation. This is a class that inherits from the ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Contracts.CheckBox base class. Override the virtual method OnClick to perform whatever custom behavior is desired.

Use the IsChecked runtime property to set the checked state. Toggle the IsChecked property between true and false for the normal dual-state check box or between true, false, and null for a tri-state check box.

internal class MyCheckBox : ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Contracts.CheckBox
{
   public MyCheckBox()
   {
      IsChecked = true;
   }

   protected override void OnClick()
   {
      // TODO - add specific customization here as necessary
   }
}
